Definitions

• the present invention relates to water-soluble or water-swellable sulfo-containing associative thickening copolymers, processes for their preparation and the use of these copolymers in aqueous building material systems based on hydraulic binders such as cement, lime, gypsum, anhydrite etc. and in water-based coating and coating systems.
• Water-soluble, non-ionic derivatives of polysaccharides, in particular cellulose and starch derivatives, are usually used in aqueous building material mixtures in order to delay or prevent the undesirable evaporation of the water required for hydration and processing or its drainage into the subsurface.
• nonionic cellulose derivatives in the building materials and paint sector is described in a number of publications, such as in DE-OS 39 34 870.
• Such products have low thermal flocculation points, which leads to a drastic decrease in water retention at temperatures above 30 ° C.
• the rheological property profile of these products is insufficient in paint systems, since pigments are insufficiently dispersed due to the lack of adsorptive forces from the additives.
• US Pat. No. 5,372,642 describes methylhydroxyalkylcarboxymethylcelluloses which, in lime and cement-containing mixtures, do not result in a drop in water retention when the application temperature is increased from 20 to 40.degree.
• US Pat. No. 5,863,975 describes synthetic polymers which have water retention properties and contain monomers containing carboxyl groups, such as acrylic acid. Because of the carboxylate groups, like the methylhydroxyalkylcarboxymethylcelluloses in hydraulic binders, they cause a strongly retarding hardening.
• Sulfoalkylated cellulose derivatives are among others described in EP-A 554 749. Like the sulfo group-containing polyelectrolytes according to DE-OS 1 98 06 482, they have excellent compatibility with polyvalent cations in comparison to products containing carboxy groups.
